Queen Nefertiti of Egypt
Nefertiti was Queens at the height of the Ancient Egypt Empire’s wealth and power. She and her husband began a religious revolution and built a new capital city. And Nefertiti rose to the level of co-Pharaoh, one of the few female rulers in the empire’s history. She was also the step mother and mother in law of King Tutankhamun. But much about her life remains shrouded in mystery. Her most famous image, this pristinely preserved bust is a tantalizing glimpse at the life of one of the ancient world’s great Queens.

Love the story of this magnificent queen of Egypt. Nefertiti is such a beauty. She could have walked down the street today and made ppl's head turn.

But the foreign princess theory can be disputed because Aye’s wife Tey has been named as wet nurse to Nefertiti. So how could she possibly be a foreign princess when she had a Egyptian wet nurse? Tadukhipa might actually be Akhenaten’s second wife Kiya who was known as the favorite. Because there’s not much know about her and her name means ‘jovial lady’ that coming to Egypt she took on a new name so tadukhipa might have become kiya as that name is sort of a pet name.

There are lists of many of the Queens of ancient Egypt known by their names However only a small number of them have retained their fame through the ages.
It's possible that it wasn't Nefertiti who wrote the letter to the Hittite king for help, as she still had Tutankhamun as her heir, despite being her step-son. I hear that it's most likely her daughter, Ankhesenamun, who wrote it out of desperation after her brother-husband, King Tut, died and she was forced to marry Ay, most likely her grandfather. Ew. The Hittite king did sent one of his sons to Egypt to see if this was true, but the prince died en route, possibly murdered. And conveniently, Ankhesenamun disappeared from the record of history shortly after being forced to marry Ay.

She. Ever knew of Nefertiti. The Egyptian priests destroyed any knowledge of both of them before her time.
To people who are surprised that other countries won't give the artifacts back to their rightful place - it's about money, and the fact that it's easier to go to UK or something, than Africa. Regardless of the names of the countries, anyone would do the same in this situation and keep them. Giving artifacts back would mean something like "take my money, I don't need them at all". This is a whole business with a lot of employees. It's too grounded for anything to change in this regard, and perhaps only war could change that. It's really naive to think that people would go with their good hearts and honor in such cases.

I loved this one!!! Please do more ancient queens, if you can; maybe even someone biblical, like Esther, or Ruth? Your videos always make my day--just had emergency surgery and it almost took away the pain ❤

Very good and interesting video, as always !! I wished we could know a lot more about the ancient times, plenty of secrets are yet to be uncovered... By the way ! I'd love to see you make a vide about Hurem Hatun, the wife and queen of Suleiman the great of the Ottoman empire ! Her life seems very intriguing ! Can't wait to see the next video
I just found your channel! I am a history and documentary lover!! This makes me sooooo happy!! Yesssss!!!!!! 💓🙏🏻🎉💯

I remember seeing Iman playing Nefertiti as a little girl and my father telling me that Iman was Somali like me and became obsessed with her lmao

I always imagined that if Iman were alive thousands of years ago people would worship her as a goddess. At the very least she would be made a beloved queen. Seeing that she played Nefertiti in a movie makes it one step closer to being true, in my mind. Also, I have always felt that Somali people (especially women) are very beautiful.

They should return the bust to Egypt. :/
Quite a few things that are presented as fact in this video are actually the subject of ongoing debate (or simply incorrect). Like that letter to the Hittite king, for example. Egyptologists still do not agree on who actually wrote it. Some think it was Nefertiti, some think it was Ankhesenamun or Meritaten (though Meritaten seems unlikely). As far as I know, there is also no evidence for Nefertiti moving the capital back to Thebes after Akhenaten's death. She does appear to have relaxed the official stance towards the old religion and the priesthood of Amun but from what I've read, it is assumed that she continued to live in and reign from Akhetaten. You also seem to have left out Smenkhkare whom most Egyptologists today accept to have been a distinct, male individual, not Nefertiti using a different name. There is some uncertainty surrounding the identification of the KV55 mummy as Akhenaten, as well. Most of the sources regarding this period in Egyptian history are so vague and/or incomplete that it's difficult to make definitive statements about it. A lot of it is just theories based on conjecture and personal interpretation.
Thank you for this! 👑👑👑
I'd totally forgotten about it until just now but when I was a kid we had a painting of Nefertiti's infamous bust hanging up in our living room. I had no idea who she was until years later and my inner nerd consumed my entire life 😅 Every time I see the bust I can't help but stare. It's like I'm half expecting her to open her mouth and start talking (as if I'd be able to understand her native language anyway 😑). Thank you for another well done video!!!
Beautiful narration and great presentation
This is the best, most cohesive, video on Nefertiti I have ever seen, and I have watched quite a few.
Well done. Even the difficult events are labeled as such so one can get an interpretation suited to his liking. There's not much known about Nafertiti and this video acknowledges this, while making it very interesting.
Oh, I love Ancient Egypt, and Nefertiti and Akheaten rule is especially fascinating I have a smaller copy of both Nefertiti and Tutankhamun basks . Eh, those Germans. I actually thought it was Ankheseamun, who wrote to the Hetite king after Tutanhamun's death

I love ancient history, in particular, Eqyptian life. I read that the men that sold all the ornaments of the various types of gods were angry, when they were told they had to worship just one god. . Now, they couldn't sell their ornaments, of their many previous gods!!! They used to sell their goods, outside the temples!!! As my grandmother used to say, "times change but human nature, doesn't!".
I love all of your videos, but this is exceptional.
Super interesting video, I would love to hear more about other Egyptian rulers
Great way to start the day. An educational and entertaining video

Hi Lindsey! Thank you so much for posting about this ancient queen. I loved hearing about her. I hope you might help me a little further, as I think I may have been led astray. I heard in another documentary that the letter to the Hittite king was written by king tut’s wife after his death, rather than Nefertiti. I obviously don’t have your access or research. Is It clear which queen wrote to the Hittites? Second question: I’ve heard the theory that Nefertiti bust might be a forgery. As it is so much better preserved than many treasures from the time. What is your take on this? Do you think it has any validity?
I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw the bust in Berlin some years ago.....
